“Stop it, Nyssal Doing this will only get Serena killed!”
My father yelled as he pulled me back, and I stiffened almost instantly at his words and the expression on his face.
He didn’t look at me with anger or frustration instead, his eyes were filled with sadness.
And in the very next second, whatever rage and emotion had been building inside me vanished. The air seemed to shift, the tension in the room dissipating completely.
My father must have noticed it too, because he raised a brow, his eyes narrowing in confusion but I didn’t wait another second before speaking.
“Father, what’s going to happen to Serena? Why are you stopping me? You know what that cruel man would do to her! She won’t survive,” I hissed, staring at him in disbelief, shocked that he had stopped me instead of fighting for Serena.
Was it because he was also upset about what she did? But still…
“Father, I know Serena did something wrong but it was all a misunderstanding! She didn’t know, she was deceived by that bastard! And the rogue who died was probably evil anyway, right? Rogues kill, loot packs, and assault women. So that rogue definitely deserved to die! And if
he’s angry that she killed his captive, then he can just capture another rogue. There are tons of them! So why does he still want to interrogate her? That man is just heartless!”
I said everything in one breath, my voice shaky and my breathing heavy.
For a brief moment, my father’s eye twitched, like he was trying to process every word I had just thrown at him. Then suddenly, he gasped and turned sharply to Benjamin and Calen, who stood at the door.
“Quick, close the door.”
Without wasting a second, Benjamin and Calen did as they were told, quickly shutting the door. My father turned back to me and whisper-
yelled,
“Are you crazy, child? How could you talk about the Lycan King like that? What if he hears you?”
I almost rolled my eyes at his words and nearly shot back that the king could hear me for all I cared but I held myself back and tried to focus
on the real issue here: Serena.
“Dad… you know Serena has lived with us her whole life. She’s the daughter of Nanny Madison, and before she died, she made one final request, that we take care of her daughter. And you promised her, Dad. I promised her too.”
I stared straight into his eyes as I spoke. He frowned, listening to every word intently, saying nothing.
“And you know what that man will do to her,” added, my gaze hard on him.
Even though he still didn’t speak, I could tell he knew I was right.
“Nyssa, the Alpha is-” Calen started to say, but before he could finish, my father cut him off, gently wrapping his hands around my arms and making me sit back on the bed.
“I know what you mean, little Nyssa. And I haven’t forgotten my promise to Madison,” he said, sitting beside me. I stared at him as he continued,

ther’s hands tightened around my arms as he leaned closer, whispering ender his breath,
“Don’t worry, I’m not planning to abandon Serena, I will try my best to save her so don’t do anything reckless. Whatever you do might endanger her life. Do you understand?”
When I didn’t answer, Benjamin, who stood behind my father, spoke.
“Trust the Alpha, Nyssa. Your father knows what he’s doing,” he said, and Calen nodded.
“Yes, little Nyssa. The Alpha won’t abandon Serena like that.”
For a brief moment, I didn’t say anything as they spoke. I simply watched them, my father, his Beta, and his Gamma and in that moment, 1
realized one thing
I wasn’t the only one Serena grew up with. I wasn’t the only one who loved her. They all loved and cared for her just as much as 3 did. They wouldn’t abandon her or let anything bad happen so I made the decision to be patient and trust my father.
“Okay… I won’t do anything rash,” I promised with a sigh, running a hand through my hair before taking a deep breath to calm my nerves and keep myself from acting too hastily. I had to be patient. I had to stay calm.
“Good girl,” my father praised, leaning back, and I forced a small smile, only then realizing that my father was actually here, in the Lycan King’s pack. Thinking something might have happened, I asked,
“Is everything okay? Why are you here, Dad?”
He lifted a brow at my question, and for a brief moment, I caught a flicker of something in his eyes before he spoke.
“We’ve been investigating the culprit behind the Ashvein that the rogue overdosed on, and when the King found out, he called us here.” His tone was brief, almost clipped, and as I studied him, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something he wasn’t telling me, something he
was hiding.
Before I could ask, he cut in.
“But that doesn’t seem important right now.” His eyes narrowed on me, sharp and suspicious. “Nyssa… tell me the truth. Are you hiding something from me?”
I stared at him in confusion, unsure what he meant until he went on.
“Just now… when you were struggling against me to get to Serena, the strength you used to yank your wrist away wasn’t normal. And maybe
I was imagining it, but your aura–it flared, stronger than I’ve ever felt. What was that?”
1 lifted a brow, still not understanding.
My aura… fiared?
“Dumbass, he’s saying the aura he felt from you was way stronger than it should be for a wolfless omega,” Shella cut in, her voice sounding

tired at this point. That was when it finally clicked.
“Hmm… how should I put this? You know you don’t have a wolf and the aura that radiated from you was
“But I do have a wolf,” I interrupted, tilting my head in confusion.
My father froze mid–sentence, staring at me as if he hadn’t heard me right. Even Benjamin and Calen looked equally dumbfounded.
“W–what did you just say?” my father asked.
“I’m not wolfless anymore. I have a white wolf named Sheila,” I said, only then realizing I’d never told them. I had completely forgotten… until it slipped out just now.
Judging by my father’s stunned expression and the way Benjamin and Calen’s jaws practically hit the floor, I muttered a quiet “ah” under my breath.
The very next second, all three of them screamed in unison.
“What!?”
